Aren't you rather overstating that. Monsanto needs people to make money out of. I know of no evidence to the effect that they are being poisoned or starved.

Strange that you think 'purposeful' = bad. I rather thought that the problem with capitalism was its lack of deliberate selection, not an excess of it.
Monsanto must be thwarted, but so must the evil exploiters of the health industry and Hollywood. Why single out Monsanto above Guardian newspapers plc? -- Jim heartfield
